when it's true, when it's right, love can give you the kind of joy that you can't get from any other experience. I have also lived long periods without love in my life, and there is no way to describe the difference between the two.
We is always better than I. If you need proof, just look at US.

People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.
When each day is the same as the next, it's because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives everyday that the sun rises.
"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it."
Making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.
Someone in the world awaits you, whether it's in the middle of the desert or in some great city

You havent heard of it?? It was a bestseller when it came out and very popular at one time...Originally posted by BeEtHoVeN:care to tell me more about the book ?

I put this book in the top 10 books of my life because it really inspired me. I am on my path today because of it...I would really recommend that you do read it at leats once in your life time...
heres a review on it from Amazon...hope you find it insightful....
Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world, and this tenth anniversary edition, with a new introduction from the author, will only increase that following. This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and inspiring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasures found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.
The Alchemist presents a simple fable, based on simple truths and places it in a highly unique situation. And though we may sniff a bestselling formula, it is certainly not a new one: even the ancient tribal storytellers knew that this is the most successful method of entertaining an audience while slipping in a lesson or two. Brazilian storyteller Paulo Coehlo introduces Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who one night dreams of a distant treasure in the Egyptian pyramids. And so he's off: leaving Spain to literally follow his dream.
Along the way he meets many spiritual messengers, who come in unassuming forms such as a camel driver and a well-read Englishman. In one of the Englishman's books, Santiago first learns about the alchemists--men who believed that if a metal were heated for many years, it would free itself of all its individual properties, and what was left would be the "Soul of the World." Of course he does eventually meet an alchemist, and the ensuing student-teacher relationship clarifies much of the boy's misguided agenda, while also emboldening him to stay true to his dreams. "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy confides to the alchemist one night as they look up at a moonless night."Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself," the alchemist replies. "And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity." --Gail Hudson -

I can't begin to explain how lucky it is to find someone you can love that much, and who, miracles of miracles, loves you that much back.
